RimWorld, the acclaimed sci-fi colony sim from Ludeon Studios, will soon be besieged by "monstrous creatures, mind-bending mysteries, infiltrating parasites, and sanity-shredding phenomena" when its new horror-themed expansion, Anomaly, arrives on Steam next month. Anomaly - RimWorld's fourth paid expansion after Biotech, Royalty, and Ideology - begins as colonists accidentally provoke a mad superintelligence, unleashing its horrors and twisting the world with "ominous, puzzling, mind-controlling, and earth-shaking" threats. The idea, explains Ludeon over on Steam, is to give players the tools they need to build their own horror stories, with the developer citing the likes of Cabin in the Woods, The Thing, The Cthulhu mythos, and Hellraiser as inspirations for the expansion.
